# Joy Buolamwini and Kyle Chayka: Investigating the Algorithm

Algorithms aren’t just the code that suggests your next impulse buy. Joy Buolamwini (“Unmasking AI”) and Kyle Chayka (“Filterworld”) unearth a more troubling world where computer code flattens our culture into fragmented worlds where discrimination is rampant, anxiety predominates and profit is king. But can the algorithm contribute to a better world? The authors discuss their work with Regina G. Barber at the 2024 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.
